4. Act One Scene 3

The male and female dancers, walked from backstage, up to Kanaya.

"KANAYA, THAT WAS AWESOME!"

"gurl, you did a fantastic job."

"YOUR VO1C3 SOUNDS SO PR3TTY, K4N4Y4."

"yOU DID AN AMAZING JOB,"

":33 yes, you sounded so purrty!"

"Thank You"

The sound of the whip hitting the ground fills the air of the stage. Everyone turns to look at Aradia.

"yes, y0u did well." Aradia walks up to Kanaya and puts a finger to her under her chin, "p0rrim w0uld be very pleased."

Kanaya smiles. Araida looks at the dancers.

"the rest 0f y0u," Aradia pauses, "y0u were a disgrace! n0t en0ugh arm m0vement, knee kicks. c0me, we rehearse, n0w!"

The dancers nod their head as they practice their dances. Kanaya slowly walks out of the room as she hears a voice.

"8rava, miss maryam."

Jade slowly walks away from the dancers.

"kanaya," She calls out, "kanaya."

"k8naya."

Jade smiles as Kanaya turns to see her.

"where have you been hiding?" Jade pauses, "you were perfect."

"Thank You Jade"

"i just wish i knew your secret." Jade pauses, "who is this new tutor?"

Kanaya looks at her, then slowly looking around for anyone else as they got closer to the dressing room.

"I Remember Porrim Speaking Of An Angel" Kanaya pauses, "I Used To Dream She Would Appear Now That I Speak Of Her I Feel Her Presence And I Know Shes Here"

They made it inside the dressing room, and Kanaya slowly started to change out of the green dress into a white dress.

"Here In This Room I Can Hear Her Speaking Somewhere Hiding" Kanaya pauses, "Somehow She Is Always With Me She Cannot Be Seen She Is A Genius"

"i watched your face from the shadows, kanaya," Jade pauses, "distance through the applause, i heard your voice whispering, and yet the words aren't yours."

"Angel Of Music Please Guide Me Grant Me Your Glory"

"who is this angel?"

"Please angel hide no longer, you are secret and strange . . . Angel." Both Jade and Kanaya say.

"She Is With Me Even Now"

"your hands are cold"

"All Around Me"

"your face, kanaya, it's white!"

"It Frightens Me"

"don't be frightened."

The sound of the whip came back. Both of them turn to see who it was. Aradia stands at the door way.

"jade harley, are y0u a dancer?"

"yes."

"then g0 and practice!"

Kanaya looks at Jade as she leaves. Then the troll looks at Aradia as she came a little closer.

"my dear." Aradia hands Kanaya a letter, "i was asked t0 give y0u this."

Kanaya takes the letter and looks at Aradia.

"Thank You"

The rust blood leaves the room. Kanaya goes to the desk and opens the letter.

"A Jade And Pink Scarf" Kanaya pauses, "The Attic Grim Auxiliatrix"

Outside the room, John and Dave laugh.

"rose, i think we have made quite the discovery with miss maryam."

"perhaps we can show you to her"

"Guys, please, this is one visit I prefer to do alone."

"as you wish"

"it appears that they have met before."

Rose walks into the room.

"Kanaya Maryam, where is the scarf I made you?"

"Madam"

"We used to wrap it around each other as we tried to keep each other warm."

"Because It Was Below Cold That Winter" Kanaya pauses, "Oh Rose So It Is You"

"Kanaya." Rose smiles as she hugs Kanaya, "Grim Auxiliatrix, let her mind wonder."

"You Remember That Too"

"Grim Auxiliatrix, I am found of you, over goblins, or of shoes."

"Or Of Riddles Or Of Frogs"

"The picnic lunches in the attic or of chocolates."

"Porrim Playing The String Human Instrument"

"As we read to each other romance novels."

"What I Love Most Auxiliatrix Said Is When I Am Asleep In My Recupracoon As The Angel Of Music Sings Songs In My Head"

"The angel of music singing songs in my head." Both Kanaya and Rose say.

Kanaya holds the picture of Porrim in her hand.

"Porrim Once Said When I Am In Heaven Kanaya I Will Send The Angel To You" Kanaya pauses, "Porrim Is Dead Rose And I Have Been Visited By The Angel"

"No doubt of it." Rose pauses, "And now, we go to dinner."

"No Rose" Kanaya pauses, "The Angel Is Very Strict"

"She won't keep you up late, you must change and I must get my coat," Rose pauses, "three minutes, Grim Auxiliatrix."

Rose walks out of the room.

"Rose" Kanaya screams.

She begins to shake.

"Things Have Changed Rose"

"insolent girl, this slave of fashion, 8asking in your glory," The angel's voice echoes through the room, "ignorant fool, this 8rave young human, sharing in my triumph!"

"Angel I Hear You Speak I Listen Please Stay By Me Guide Me" Kanaya pauses, "Angel My Soul Was Weak Forgive Me Enter At Last Master"

"flattering child you will know me, you will learn way i hide in the shadows," The voice continues, as Kanaya walks up to the mirror, "look at yourself in the mirror, i am there inside!"

Kanaya looks at her refection, seeing a blue blooded troll.

"Angel Of Music Guide And Guard Me" Kanaya pauses, "Angel Of Music Hide No Longer Come To Me Strange Angel"

"i am your angel of music, come to me my angel of music," Vriska pauses, the mirror opens up as she holds her hand out for Kanaya's, "i am your angel of music, come to me my angel of music."

Kanaya takes her hand and goes inside, with Vriska leading her. The mirror closes. Rose comes back in, and begins looking around.

"Kanaya?"
